Chapter 125 Failure to fulfill obligations

Early in the morning, without anyone calling, Mihuang woke up by himself.

Cheng Xian'er and Cheng Qingqing had already gone to another room to rest, and the old doctor was no longer there, so she called Aunt Li and helped her into the dressing room.

Fingertips swept over a set of new women's long skirts ordered by Cheng Xian'er, silk and brocade silk, with complicated patterns, dragging the ground and dragging down, which was very inconvenient......

In the end, her hand did not stop at any of them, but asked Aunt Li if there was a men's robe or light military uniform similar to her in the eastern suburbs, and she could take a set.

The height of the phoenix is placed in the men's middle.

It's not too short.

So it wasn't too difficult to find a men's robe or military uniform that was similar to her size.

Soon, a set of purple cross-collared Zen robes with blue cotton hakama was brought in, and Aunt Li said, "For a while, the eastern suburbs really don't know if there is a new men's dress that fits the size of a woman." This is one I found in the adult's old clothes, because it shrunk and I can't wear it, so I prepared a set for the villagers to wear. ”

"Well, exactly!"

Mi Huang looked at the size, just right.

Because her body couldn't move around at will, she asked Aunt Li to help her start changing clothes, and she sat in front of the comb table, looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, pulled out all the gold hairpins, arm ornaments, earrings on her head, and her black hair was scattered...... Picking up a cyan belt, a pair of jade hands skillfully tied all the long hair that was scattered into a bunch at the top of the hair.

In the end, I randomly picked a jade crown, with a copper hairpin, inserted, fixed, and the ability fell to the extreme.

In the mirror, after a while, a heroic woman appeared.

Aunt Li stood on the spot with a little surprise, looking at Mi Huang who had changed into men's clothes in a daze, and her eyes were suddenly more decisive and decisive, and she was less gentle and moving.

Stunned asked, "The lady is ?......?"

Do what......

"It's easy to do things in the future!"

Mi Huang only said a few words, then slowly stood up with the table and chairs, went out of the inner room, slowly walked to the edge of the cradle outside, sat on the round bench like Cheng Jia last night, and quietly looked at the villain in the small cradle.

The child's appearance is similar to Ruo Ao Ziyan, the only pair of eyes, looking back at her quietly like obsidian, the small body shrunk into a ball, like a red hairless puppy, rolling his eyes and waving his little hands.

After watching it for a while, Mi Huang saw that he was quiet and well-behaved, so he got up and prepared to do something.

But at this moment, a heart-rending cry suddenly sounded behind him.

Without warning.

When she turned around, she saw a red-colored villain, crying so sadly, swallowing tears and snot in her mouth, dirty...... The chest rises and falls, as if he is about to lose his breath.

Finally, under the urging of Aunt Li, he couldn't help but bend down and touch his little face, and wiped it lightly with his fingers, he immediately stretched out his pink little tongue and licked her fingers like a puppy, spitting bubbles, and bursting into laughter.

"Giggles" ......

Then he grabbed her hand hard, as if he was about to throw himself into her arms, what a heartless guy.

Saying that the wind is the wind, saying that the rain is the rain, there is no obstacle to the transformation.

It's not like her and Ruo Ao Ziyan alone at all.

Mi Huang chuckled.

He tugged at her fingers again.

One big and one small, their eyes facing each other, desperately pulling one of her fingers to tug of war, causing Aunt Li, who was standing on the side, to chuckle again and again, and said to her, "Lady, little boy, this is for you to hug him!"

Mi Huang looked down and looked again, and the little man who was holding his little hand did not hug it, but raised his head and said, "Aunt Li, you help me go and see where Master Cheng is first, I want to know how the situation in the capital is now...... I also asked Su Zhubo, when did Huo Dao leave from the eastern suburbs, according to the time, they should have arrived in the capital!"

"Yes, I'm going to call someone!"

Before Aunt Li went out, she always felt that something was wrong there, so she couldn't help but stand on the door and look back and say, "By the way, Mrs. Girl, the child has just been born, why don't you take the child back to bed to rest, and get close to each other by the way, so that the mother and son ......are connected."

"No, Aunt Li, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of this child in the future, so I'll leave it to you!"

"I have other things to do, and I may not be able to be a competent mother!"

"This ......"

Aunt Li frowned when she heard this, what is this not a mother for?

"But the child is still young...... Need a mother!"

Her little tiger is just a day without seeing her and crying at home.

Mi Huang took a deep breath, slowly tightened the little hand in his hand, let him be coquettish in her palm innocently, and said, "I know, so I gave him life and hope he lives well...... But at this point, I have fulfilled my obligations as a wife and mother...... Next, I have my own unfulfilled obligations. ”

In the early morning, a pair of slender eyes seem to be calm, and there is no edge in the past, even very warm, with a slight smile, but there is a sense of standing like a mountain.

Her words, her expression......

Aunt Li couldn't refute it.

……

Ordinary women, as long as they marry a man and take care of the housework for him to have children and children, they have fulfilled all their obligations in this life, which is already very hard.

But this country needs a princess, the people of Yingdu, and the courtiers are still waiting for her to go back.

Although she doesn't understand politics, she doesn't understand government politics, and she doesn't know how the war is going on outside...... But she knew how fierce the Yongguo trouble was a few years ago, when the country was flooded for many years, famine continued, wars continued, starvation was everywhere, and blood flowed.

Dead people are just the most common thing.

In the midst of these troubled times.

Although their Chu State defeated the Yong State with great difficulty, the famine was still raging after the war, and the corpses were everywhere, and flesh and blood were cannibalized...... If the adults and the princess hadn't killed those corrupt officials, I am afraid that these homeless people would not have been there in the cold winter last year, how could they enjoy happiness in the eastern suburbs.

One winter can freeze everyone to death.

According to the time of the Chu Yong war, she didn't know how long the Chu and Jin wars would last, but it would not be long before winter would begin, and if a war broke out again in the country, even she could imagine the tragic situation......

Not to mention the lady?

Thinking of this, Aunt Li first felt a burst of fear for no reason, and sighed that she had stayed in the eastern suburbs for a long time, thinking that this world was too peaceful, but she forgot that this was still a troubled world.

Looking at the woman standing opposite Mount Tai, her heart was sour, and she nodded with tears, "Daughter, don't worry, I will definitely treat the little boy as a dear child than my own and ensure that he grows up unharmed." ”

With that, she turned and exited the room as if she had fled, leaving the brief time to the young woman and the child in her hands.

She didn't know why she was running.

Probably shame.

……

Looking back at the mother and son inside the door through the curtain that blocked the wind, she breathed lightly, walked hurriedly, and said to herself, "Lady...... As a woman, if you want to be the home of a country in this troubled world, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate?

The man in my family can't even be a good one of his own small families, let alone a country...... Most of the princes in this world are men, and it is not that natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly fighting, the people are not able to make a living, and some even lose their country, and men are not good at being the home of a country.

Not to mention women?

But a woman is in power, it is always good for us women, and the wife is even kinder...... There is no evil word or evil spirit of those great nobles......

We have to be valued as human beings!"

……

In the house, Mi Huang didn't look at Mi Zhuang any more, let him play by himself, walked to the table, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write a letter.

This is after Ao Ziyan left Beijing.

Her fifth letter to him.

In the letter, he still first questioned Ruo Ao Ziyan as his wife, asking him if he was injured, whether he was safe, whether he was victorious, and when he would return...... He also told the news of the birth of their child, such as that he hoped that it would be a boy, and told him to protect himself outside for the sake of her and the child...... In the end, he told him the news that Ling Yin Zi died.

Holding a thick scroll of letters, she sealed them with fire paint, and then sat with the letter in her hand for more than an hour.

She didn't know if the letter would be able to appease Ruo Ziyan in the worst-case scenario.

It's him who she is.

It is not necessarily possible not to take revenge on his father.

The father-son relationship between Yin Ziban and Ruo Ao Ziyan is deep and cannot be erased.

Put the letter away, put it in a bamboo tube, dripped a circle of wax oil and sealed it, and when Cheng Jia came in, Mi Huang was already looking at the cities, counties, villages, and military defense terrain around Yingdu.

When she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, she looked up and saw someone outside the door eagerly pushing open the door.

Smile at her.

It's kind of a greeting.

The sun fell from the rustling purple bamboo forest, speckled on his face, beating slightly with the morning breeze, and his handsome face could not be seen clearly, but a pair of eyes were bright, and this smiling face became more and more visible.

See you after the catastrophe.

It's a sparkle of eyes.

It was as if time had traveled back to that innocent youth, and for the first time I saw the little boy who was saying those stupid things to her on the White Dragon Pond.

I believe that two young people can break out of this deep palace compound and even the entire heaven and earth.

But things are in a hurry.

It easily shattered their childhood dreams.

……

Although Mi Huang is a king, he also stood up involuntarily, did not step forward, but waited quietly.

I saw him step forward and first glance at the little person in the basket, then looked at her and asked, "I slept well last night, what's wrong?...... Do you want to call the doctor to come and see ?...... again?"

A series of questions fell, and he saw that the standing Mi Huang was dressed in men's clothes, but it was his......

The hairpin beads on the head, jasper, and even the bright moon bell on the ear were also picked, and on the day she returned to Beijing, he stood on the bow of the boat and saw the woman with a horizontal sword on the opposite side of the river.

It's exactly the same, plain face to the sky.

If she is standing in front of a group of men, her tall stature makes it difficult to distinguish between male and female.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, pointed to her clothes, and asked, "Why did you change back to this appearance?"

When he returned from the Chu Yong War, he was dressed in a men's military uniform.

He wanted to say that she was a woman after all.

But in the end, there was no exit.

"This one is very good, simple, and easy to do!"

Mi Huang opened his hand and looked at the body to see that there was nothing wrong with it, Cheng Jia's shrunken clothes fit perfectly, except for wearing it on his body, there was a strange and faint fragrance, lingering in his nose.

Come back from the battlefield of Chu Yong.

It will be a full year.

In this whole year, she returned to the palace, took off the uniform that could go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country like a man, put on a light and feminine long skirt that belonged to women, and returned to her original identity, a princess of a country, a princess, and then became Ruo Ao Ziyan's wife and the mother of his children.

However, in the future, these identities.

Probably, all will, do not belong to her.

"These days, you don't go to the ground, rest more in the house, my mother used to say that when a woman gives birth, she must rest for at least a month. Cheng Jia saw that since she wanted to wear it, she didn't say much, but just persuaded her to go back and rest more.

Aunt Li thought that this was the rule of nobles, and repeatedly accused, "I'm sorry, my lord, I treat the princess as a rough woman like us, thinking that after giving birth, I can work in the field...... Girl, then you better go back to bed and lie down, rest and rest, it will not be good if you fall into some kind of disease like us in the future!"

When the words fell, she was going to help Mihuang go back and lie down.

When Cheng Jia was a child, it was strange to see that none of the concubines in Cheng's mansion were confined, and later I learned that there was no rule of "doing confinement" in this era, and now it is no strange.

Productivity is low in this era.

Before giving birth to a child, ordinary women have to work in the fields after giving birth, where to give people time to rest, even aristocratic women will walk around if they are in good health, although they will also recuperate, but not so much.

Therefore, the mortality rate of women before and after childbirth in this era is extremely high.

It was not until the Western Han Dynasty's "Book of Rites" that the etiquette of "confinement" was determined, and the convention was customary.

You are not allowed to go out to see the wind, and you must stay in bed.

Thinking of this, he also persuaded her to go back to rest.

"I know the injuries on my body, don't worry, I won't mess around for the time being......"

Except for the slight pain of the abdominal wound, the rest is okay, such an injury on the battlefield is actually not very serious, she has also suffered it, and she can bear it.

Mi Huang took two steps casually, signaled that it was okay, refused to go back to the bed to lie down, but walked to the side of the couch, glanced at the villain in the basket again, and beckoned everyone to come in and speak, "You better come and tell me about the current situation outside, otherwise even if I recuperate, I won't be at ease!"

The crowd received the order and rushed in.

One by one, they talked about the information they had collected and summarized.

"The matter of food, related to the final victory or defeat of Chu and Jin in this battle, the country is stable, but the country is now controlled by Yue Jiao, and it is necessary to be more cautious, and immediately enter the winter, if the other party continues to make trouble, it will inevitably covet my eastern suburbs, borrow grain for the winter, and the minister thinks that this matter must be prevented as soon as possible. Su Cong said.

"And if you have food in hand, Your Highness can also recruit troops and buy horses, cut off the rear of the rebel party, and in winter, if there is no food in the city, it will be beneficial to us. The other voice nodded and continued to add.

More than a dozen stewards poured in, and the small warm pavilion was suddenly a little cramped, everyone was standing or sitting, and Mi Huang could only sit on the couch in the middle, gently shaking the cradle with one hand, and a small person was lying inside, listening to Cheng Jia and Su Cong and others report various situations.

Although the stewards were young, they spoke in an orderly manner. Although he does not have an official position, if he is a worker in the agricultural government in the future, he will be responsible for planning and plowing and having field tools, which is more than enough.

Hearing this, Mi Huang nodded, "What do you mean, this lady is already clear." ”

When the words fell, she suddenly let out a soft snort, her head lowered unconsciously, her face showed helplessness, and she looked down only to see a villain, Yang Yang proudly gnawed her fingers with her mouth.

Although it is toothless and does not hurt, it bites hard.

When Cheng Jia saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he thought that everyone was discussing at this moment, and he was busy with their words, "And now Yuejiao is definitely searching everywhere, there are no strong soldiers guarding the eastern suburbs, and there are no high-walled cities on all sides to resist, I am worried that the wolf son of Yuejiao will definitely be killed, for the sake of safety, you and Your Highness will follow the boat to Zheng Guo, which is the safest, and I will preside over this country." When the horse and Sun Hou return with the army, you will be the supreme lady again, respond to all calls, and the Qing monarch will be able to calm down the civil strife in the near future. ”

"But if I go to the north alone...... The people of that country must have thought that I had abandoned them, and the people were cold, and the soldiers were cold. Just for your own safety, have you ever thought that when we come back, the people's hearts will be difficult to recover?" said Mi Huang, looking at him.

"However, now that the king's situation is unknown, the domestic traitor is strong, and the princess, as the prince of the country, cannot afford to lose!"

Cheng Jia said, "That's what all of us mean. ”

Although there are no hundred officials here, Su Congyan led everyone to salute together, and knelt down to ask her to follow them with Mizhuang.

Safety is the top priority.

"I still don't agree!"

Mi Huang shook his head, "I know that I have injuries on my body and need to recuperate, and I also know that Yue Jiao will inevitably search for me if he doesn't catch me for a day, but let me leave with the big boat, it's safe, but the mountains and rivers are broken, and I have a useless body, what's the use?!"

"Then it's not safe for you to stay in the eastern suburbs!"

"I know, I can't stay in the eastern suburbs either! This winter, Quan Chu is still pointing to the eastern suburbs for the winter, so I must leave this place as soon as possible, before the people from Yuejiao come!"

"And where are you going?"

Cheng Jia listened to her and wanted to leave.

"Phoenix Mountain Camp. ”

"At this time, only there is solid gold, if Ao Ziyan's administrative and military planning over there is perfect, it has been established with the specifications of the capital early on, and there is a complete army, arsenal, and I also have the phoenix talisman he gave me, if I go there, it will be safe and worry-free, and it will not implicate other people, and you can also use Phoenix Mountain to coerce Yuejiao to continue to expand around Yingdu, threatening more counties. ”

After this defeat, Mi Huang deeply realized that only in the hands of the emperor could the military power be ensured, and only wanted to rely on the promise of the monarch and ministers, once the promise of one party was torn up, there was no soldier of the king of Chu in hand, and there was no army to order, and she and the king of Chu could not protect her and the lives of the king of Chu.

People's hearts are fickle, and vows are easy to reverse.

In the future, only when all the armed forces in the country are completely subjugated can we have absolute control over the country.

Pan Chong's words, at this time in her heart, the influence of the Ruo Ao clan, especially the influence of the army, has exceeded her original expectations, from the six departments of Ruo Ao, all the way to her Chu army, it can be seen that they have been operating deeply over the years.

Yue Jiao only relied on the prestige of the Ruo Ao clan and the ten years of operation in the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, which emptied the influence of the King of Chu in the Forbidden Army and the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Even if he didn't have a tiger talisman, his prestige was enough to command the army.

"Don't say much, then it's decided, Su Cong, since the grain has been loaded, you quickly take someone north to report a letter to deliver the grain, and at the same time bring the little boy with you, and I and Cheng Youtu will go to the Phoenix Mountain camp to move the rescue soldiers. ”

The little man in his arms opened his eyes as if he didn't understand, listening to these adults decide his fate.

Cluck......

Make a toothless laugh.
